Step-by-step
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, mix together peanut butter, butter, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until smooth.

- Add chocolate chips and oil to the glass bowl, stirring as it gradually melts.
- Using small tongs, or two forks, dip each peanut butter filled cracker sandwich in the chocolate.
- Tap the side of the bowl to shake off excess chocolate before placing the chocolate covered cookie onto a piece of parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
- Chill to set the chocolate.
